I received a standard cold outreach from an external recruiting company. At the time I wasn't looking for a change, but after hearing more about the Digits product, tech stack, team, founders, and company I felt like it was too good to be true so I took the dive in.
The process went pretty quickly from there, starting with a take home coding challenge in the language of your choice out of several options, timeboxed at 3 hours. I found the exercises enjoyable, well-documented, and increasing in complexity as the challenge went on.
Within a day or so, I was contacted to set up a live interview and the team was super accommodating with my schedule. The first portion was focused on soft skills such as recollecting the history of my career and answering some questions about highlights and lowlights. The next section was a technical interview which was an extension of the take home assignment where we built on solutions in a pair programming, collaborative environment.
The last steps of the interview process included talking to both founders individually to get a feel for the company culture. I didn't hesitate when they extended an offer shortly after!
